Trip Overview

Enjoy the most fascinating and adventurous Mountain Bike tour to Holy Muktinath along the widest view of Himalayan peaks of Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Machhhapuchhare

The Mustang–Muktinath motorbike tour is a thrilling adventure through the lower Mustang region of Nepal, combining dramatic Himalayan scenery with rich cultural and spiritual experiences. Starting from Pokhara, the ride ascends through the Kali Gandaki River gorge—the world’s deepest—passing charming villages like Tatopani, Kalopani, and the apple-growing town of Marpha. The route features a mix of paved and rugged off-road trails, offering riders both challenge and reward as they climb toward the high-altitude desert landscape of Jomsom and Muktinath. The journey provides stunning views of Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, and Annapurna ranges, along with encounters with Thakali and Tibetan-influenced cultures.

The spiritual highlight of the tour is Muktinath (3,800m), a sacred pilgrimage site revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Here, riders can visit the famous Muktinath Temple, eternal flame, and 108 water spouts, set against a stark and dramatic mountain backdrop. Along the way, you’ll explore peaceful monasteries, taste locally made apple brandy, and soak in natural hot springs at Tatopani. No restricted area permit is needed for this route, making it more accessible than Upper Mustang—yet it still delivers a rich blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and adventurous riding.

"Avoid overexertion and breathlessness while acclimatizing, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, salt and protein, your diet should be 70% carbohydrate above 3500m".

    Great Service! Very good company Makalu Adventure for Expedition

    I successfully climbed Mt Everest (8848.86 m). The climbing was much adventurous and challenging than other peaks I submitted before. Well it was definitely dangerous and thrilling but what made it easier and worth it was Makalu Adventures. I'm so glad my friend recommended me Makalu Adventure. The whole trip was so well organized, the sherpas (Phurba Onggel Sherpa and Dasange Sherpa) guided us all the way to the summit making the journey smooth. I had a lot of fun and the accommodation along with the food was great even in the higher altitude which I did not foresee. It was an experience to remember for a lifetime. Thank you Makalu Adventures for a great adventure. Great services

    Wonderful experience of World's Highest Mountain Mt. Everest (8848.86 m) climbing

    My name is Gabriella Nicola Nel, I just submitted Mount Everest with Makalu Adventure. It was an incredible experience; we did have some hiccups in terms of getting frostbite on the way down from the summit and I'd just like to thank Mohan and the Makalu Adventure team for organizing a long long rescue from Camp 3 which is extremely difficult and I believe that the company saved my life with a successful Summit. As well for the season which was a very dangerous season I'd just like to thank everyone from Makalu Adventure.
